Writing

My friend Shannie

Several years ago I met a young lady at the Oregon Christian Writers summer conference. Shannie—Shannon van Roekel—is from Canada (southwestern British Columbia), homeschools her kids, and has a delightful personality. It was one of those "God-thing" meetings, and we kept in touch via email and Christmas gifts until the next summer, when I crossed the border and plugged my RV into her house.
Well, Shannie has a book coming out in a couple of weeks ... and another next winter! I'm so impressed! I know a real author! I had the privilege of helping to edit the manuscripts, too. Ah, what fun!
Shan's website is Writing for the Word. And if you're looking for an exciting story that gives a deeper understanding of the horror of genocide in Darfur, I recommend Desert Fire.

Blogging is just journaling. What are you thinking about? What do you care about?
It's also a marketing tool—booksigning here, comment about a book there.
It's also a conversation, such as we're having now!
And Sallie and Dolphin (defense beagle and saber-toothed tiger) find it a great way to communicate with the world!

Haha! Way to go Elsi!! Next summer you should plan a joint book signing with her. Two authors, two books, in one place. :)
